Email Alert to be sent when a Qlik Sense Server Tasks fails using Zabbix Monitoring Software

Question

I'm trying to monitor my qlik sense server tasks using zabbix and incase of any task failure I want to trigger a email citing the failure. I'm currently facing the following issues:

1. Enabling SNMP protocol in the Qlik Sense Server
2. post the integration how the QMC parameters are brought into zabbix application

This is my first time working in integration so kindly let me know if you have any idea or suggestions on how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day!

I do not know Zabbix, but you can use QRS REST API to get the list of tasks with their status. the endpoint is:

/qrs/executionresult/full

or

/qrs/executionresult/{taskid}

the status comes as an integer whose values are as follow:

0, 'NeverStarted'
1, 'Triggered'
2, 'Running'
3, 'Queued'
4, 'AbortInitiated'
5, 'Aborting'
6, 'Aborted'
7, 'FinishedSuccess'
8, 'FinishedFailed'
9, 'Skipped'
10, 'Retry' 11, 'Error',
12, 'Reset'

For info, I built such mechanism directly in a Qlik Sense application using Qlik REST connector.

The Qlik application is calling another REST API when detecting such a problem and this fires an incident in our system.
